Nice cut out, good big comb and old enough to not be soft and fragile.

Good job there!

Thanks Schawee, that was fun to watch. I really liked the large comb coming out. Looked like lots of honey.

By the way, the size of that queen is similar to the size of the queens out here. Here they are all small like that.

wade i don't have a pad in my box  and have no problem with killing the bees.lost maybe 20 on this cutout.sounds like you have alil to much suction .you want it to just bearly  pull them off the cumb . annette, this queen is on the small size .i would say it the smallest queen i got on a cutout.    schawee
